Come indulge in delicious local food and wine at AfriCamps at Stanford Hills. This camp is set on a boutique wine farm in Stanford, an exciting slow food destination with chefs serving an array of fresh and locally produced food.
We have 5 glamping tents situated on the foothill of the Klein River Mountain range overlooking a dam and the Stanford Valley. This foodie delight is only a fifteen minute drive from Hermanus and can be reached from Cape Town in two hours.
Stanford Hills Estate is fast becoming one of the area’s most popular attractions. Aside from offering tastings and sales of their award-winning range of wines, there are a variety of other activities and attractions. The restaurant, The Tasting Room, is set above a dam with endless views over the Stanford Valley. The restaurant has a reputation for laid back fun, with the emphasis on fresh and inventive food of an exceptionally high standard. Chef Bridget changes her chalkboard menu daily according to what is locally fresh and available, including from her own vegetable garden. The farm also produces Proteas and Pincushions, which are endemic to South Africa, so from August through November the farm is filled with these colourful blooms. The farm offers horse-riding, hiking, and even whale-watching by air in a small airplane which takes off from the farm’s private landing strip. You can also have a swim in a farm dam, try your hand at fishing, or simply lie in bed and listen to the birds.
*COVID-19: We have updated our booking alteration policy to give guests more flexibility to change their booking dates. Please view or Terms and Conditions for more information.
In Room Facilities:AfriCamps tents consist of a spacious open plan lounge area with a comfortable couch and a fully equipped kitchen. The dining room area has a solid wooden table with enough seating for 5 people. For winter months the fireplace will be the perfect way to warm up the tent, bringing in an intimate setting for you and your love ones.
Both bedrooms are furnished with a queen size bed and have their own private entrance which allows maximum privacy. One of the bedrooms also contains an extra single bunk bed, so the tent will comfortably sleep a family of 5. Our tents are equipped with an air conditioning unit to keep you cool during those hot summer nights and a private bathroom with a hot shower cabin, washbasin and flushing toilet.
The private wooden deck at the front of the tent comes with comfortable wooden loungers from where you can overlook the peaceful natural surroundings of a working farm or beautiful estate. When days get warmer you can pull up the front covers and transform the tent into a big outdoor living area. Here you can unwind and appreciate a festive family breakfast while enjoying the beautiful weather and taking in the serene natural beauty of the South African landscape.

Great experience and facilities all around.
Well-designed, thought-out as well as executed concept: Easy flow of movement to the deck as well as to the bedrooms.
Spacious bathroom; excellent shower.
Raised wooden deck/platform, inner/outer tent design as well as window cross-ventilation allows for excellent temperature control.
The remote location on the farm provides privacy from the (charming and excellent!) restaurant.
Excellent wines to be tasted. Charming staff.
Excellent communication with the Africamps as well as Stanford Hills teams Love the sms on the day of check-in providing tent number.
Painless check-in.
Our first, but definitely not our last visit to any/all of the current 8 locations.

We as a family would like to extend our sincere thanks to yourselves for the amazing welcome we received this past weekend. We have always wanted to do the “glamping” thing and we were very fortunate to experience it now through Afristay and the competition I won earlier in the year. And after months of looking forward to it, we were not disappointed. From a very easy check-in and friendly hosts to a tent was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and we managed to get use to the wind on the second night 😊.
I am trying to gather my thoughts as I have a thousand things to say and everything we have experienced, loved the amazing breakfast as well as fantastic views all around!
I will definitely be writing a review on all the pages (Africamps / Afristay and Tripadvisor - I love writing reviews) for other people to share in the joy of an amazing establishment and ultimately an amazing experience!
Thanks one more time for the outstanding hospitality and professional service during our stay. Keep up the good work! Blessing to you all as you continue to be in the service industry, sharing this amazing place with all of us.
Kind regards,
The Jason Family

The atmosphere, the views awesome.
Enjoyed a walk through the town and the fresh produce market at the Hotel Saturday morning from 09:00 - 12:00.
The peace and the relaxed away time.
Fabulous coffee and baked goods at the Ou Meul. Quaint town. Stanford inn was the most spectacular wedding venue!

Super friendly people in Stanford!
